Points taken gents. i have gone over the ups and down for a while now and decided it's cost effective enough to try it. For starters this will be my daily driver for the rest of my college career, maybe more who knows so I have set my limits, and 7psi procharged won't ever get any higher. Maybe throttled from 12psi but no more actual boost.
The strength of 2uz is weaker IMO too, but like I said 7psi isn't a huge demand and those spiffy 6-bolt mains won't ever be critical. ARP all over should fix that, at lease for my needs. I bought a 2uz shortblck OEM from david and I got a real good deal on it. I am debating whether or not to swap my 1uz rods over but if boost NEVER changed why should I invest on wasted insurance? I read about wayne rather's 9psi 2uz that blew, but that catch with that was the truck gearing + 100hp nitrous. I would like to keep a few psi on the table as ''breathing room" for the base block. I think the huge jump in torque and bump in hp will satisfy my needs. I'm shooting for 325-350rwhp with the 1.5uz on 7psi.
Does anyone have a good idea whats a good SAFE boost level or rwhp for 2uz with stronger bolts?
Straight line romps are basically why i love my sedan, I have years and years to go before I get all my points expunged off my record, I like the feeling of knowing it's build for freeway use, not autocrossing.
BTW 1 man + 2uz + stairs = -5yrs life expectancy. Sure looks good mounted up in the kitchen :smoker:.
